Wonna lower my 06 1k any help on the proper way to go about it would be great

 

Why? Why? Why? Do you not like sportbikes that handle well?

 

Cuz im short dnt need it lowerd much not askin to be judged just like to no how

 

They make lowering links for the rear, you could get one from ebay. For the front, pull the forks up threw the clamps. Now your side stand is probably to long, the bike could tip over when park in a not so ideal spot. Also it wont be able to lean as far, and probably scrape the ground if you get a little aggressive in the twistys, which could result in levering the tires off the ground. Enjoy.

 

There's a couple ways to do the rear.

One is the dogbone (probably the best way to do it). They make a few different kinds - ones that lower specifically to one height, ones that have 3 different heights, and then kinds that can be infinitely adjusted...

Two, is different triangles - which you could make yourself if you're good with a drill press and have access to good aluminum or steel. But then you are messing with the linkage ratios which will mess with the forces put on the shock....


And you will have issues with the stand depending on how much you lower it.
